As you can see Jane is still much faster and stronger than human, so a malnourished street urchin is no match for her. Next, she dive-tackles a stray cat. The bully!
Did you spot Waldo?
Original Script
JANE Notices the boy has vanished. Hey! Looks around and spots him dodging through the crowd. Jane sprints after him at high speed. She yanks him backwards by the collar and picks him off the ground. BOY Truly frightened by Jane Help, I’m being… (mmph) Jane’s hand clamps over his mouth JANE Speaking in his ear. I only require my necklace. The one your old hag teefed. Take me to her or I call the city watch. GHOST They’re here. JANE What? BOY (Mmmph!) GHOST The local constabulary is surrounding the square.
Well, that’s a good start. Now let’s see if she can convince the watch.
Given her past performances, there is some room for doubt. 🙂
What are you insinuating? Jane is the very model of … aw, who am I kidding. Plus, there’s the whole guilt by association aspect of being caught at an illegal political rally. This don’t look good.
No, but maybe she can get out using her super speed. Love that panel.
Or she could use her mad diplomatic skills to convince the gendarmes that she’s really a Royalist infiltrating the rebels. Sure! She just needs to listen to (and trust) her inner ghost.
Or all hell is going to break loose. I know where my money is placed.
“Teefed” is a great phrase. I shall use it as often as possible.
She’s got a properly impressive stride in that big, heavy dress. An impeccable headlock as well, even lifting the poor boy off his feet. Can’t imagine this goes well once the skull-thumpe… I mean local police authority shows up.
They’ll be here REAL soon, with a surprise for YOU, Hjels!
Think you’ve tipped your hand already. 🙂
Can’t wait.
Showing female AND male ankles on the same page! The scandal!
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say maybe he doesn’t know where the medium is? But who can say for sure. He might not be inclined to tell her the truth.
Nothing like a little Victorian fan service to pull in more readers, right?
I plead the 5th on what the kid may or may not know, or do. 😀
WHERE’S WALLY? I mean Waldo.
Last panel, top left corner. 🙂
Ah, so THIS is where the head smacking starts. Bravo 😀
From here on out. So many challenging things to draw. But, it’s all in good fun!
But as a hogfarm veteran, you will sure know the story about Wally Hope and his company on other Wallies on Stonge Henge in 1974, and the craze of “Where’s Wally” shouting on 1960ies rock concerts decades before the children books exploiting the term.
…repressed! Come and see the violence inherent in the system!
